Hi Y'all!
I'm here and definitely feeling better. The doctor put me on Percoset for the pain so I've been pretty out of it. I finally scaled back to one picll every 4 hours so I'm still loopy but not knocked out. Please forgive any speeling and/or typing areas as I am PUI (posting under the influence).
As my DH said, the surgery went well. When they got in, they discovered that the meniscus they thought was torn wasn't at all. The other meniscus had a tiny, little slight tear and I had a bunch of tearing in the cartilage right behind my knee cap. This is, of course, more in line with the pain and swelling I had been having. The short of it is that I didn't need surgery for what they thought I did but I needed it to take care of the problem I actually had. The good news is that I have only slight lingering pain from behind my knee cap and the pain from the incisions. I'm walking pretty well with my walker and go back on Monday to see the doctor.
The thing I am grouchy about is that my leg is wrapped from mid-thigh to my toes with ace bandages and my leg itches!!!!! The official word is no showering until after my next appointment but DH and I going to rig something tomorrow as I will go crazy if I don't wash my hair!
So, I'm here and trying to get caught up but I have to limit the amount of time that I spend "up" so that my leg doesn't swell. I'll be around a bit so don't panic if I don't get right on eerything right away as I am working around to it.
Thanks again for all of the well-wishes everyone. I really felt very supported going in and it was great!
